down by the seashore.

via idathue.

i think all the rain this weekend in san francisco has got me seeking sunshine. and, after spending some glorious days in the warm weather down in palm springs, i was ready for a little more, but this time in the guise of some time down by the seashore. who doesn’t relish some time away alone, tucked in cozily at a beach cottage? here’s an idea of what i’d like my beach cottage to look like – comfy, with a fresh, clean vintage-modern twist.

    I’m about as far as it is possible to be from the seashore at the moment (sniffle, sob) in Austria but these are so evocative it almost makes it better, thank you!
